Privacy NoticeWhen it comes to hosting a Platinum Jubilee celebration fit for a queen, traditional dishes like sausage rolls and prawn cocktails are always guaranteed to go down a treat. But given that the occasion is set to mark Her Majesty’s 70 years of service, with the Queen becoming the first British monarch to do so, why not have some fun and opt for something a little less traditional? So, whether it’s a blackberry scotch egg, strawberry chocolate profiterole or delicious raspberry fondant fancy, nothing beats giving a staple dish a fun and fruity twist.

Ingredients 5 medium free-range eggs (including 1 beaten) 400g good-quality sausage meat 150g blackberries 40g dried breadcrumbs 6 sage leaves, finely chopped To coat 30g flour 60g dried breadcrumbs Oil for deep frying For the coulis 150g blackberries 30ml balsamic vinegar 1 tsp brown sugar Method For the coulis, place the ingredients in a small pan and simmer for 5 minutes until the fruit’s softened. Remove from the heat and push the sauce through a sieve discarding the pips. Set aside to cool. Bring a pan of water to the boil, carefully add four of the eggs and simmer for 6 minutes. Remove from the pan and immediately place them in iced water to stop them cooking further. Gently crack the shells and leave to cool in the water. Once cool, peel away the shells. Combine the sausage meat with the blackberries, allowing some to get crushed in the mix, and stir in the 40g of breadcrumbs, the sage and some salt and pepper. Divide the mix into four. With wet hands, shape a quarter of the mix into a round and flatten it. Take a boiled egg and press the meat around it until it is fully encased. Repeat with the remaining eggs. Heat the oil in a deep pan or fryer to 160C/320F. Place the beaten egg, flour and 60g of breadcrumbs on separate plates. Dip each egg first into the flour, then the egg, then the breadcrumbs. Carefully add the eggs to the hot oil – you may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your fryer – cook for 6-8 minutes, turning a couple of times, until the coating is golden. Remove and drain on kitchen paper before serving with the coulis. Explore the Queen’s Gallery at Buckingham Palace with our Royal competition. Strawberry chocolate profiterole pile SERVES 6

Remove from the heat and immediately add all the flour and beat with a wooden spoon to get a smooth dough that comes easily away from the pan. Cool for 5 minutes. Preheat the oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Vigorously beat in the eggs a little at a time until you have a thick and glossy mixture. Sprinkle a little water on two baking trays and use a teaspoon or piping bag to make blobs of the mixture on the trays. Bake for around 15 minutes until puffed up and golden. Remove from the oven, make a small slit in the base of each and return to the oven for 3 more minutes. Leave to cool on a wire rack. Whip the cream with the icing sugar to soft peaks and stir in the diced strawberries. Cut the tops from the profiteroles and fill each with the cream mix then return the tops and pile up on a serving platter. Melt the chocolate in the microwave. Dip the halved strawberries in the chocolate and leave to set on greaseproof paper. Drizzle the remaining chocolate over the profiteroles, decorate with the rind and serve with the strawberries.
